I disagree, really a Peregrine is capable of doing what a Perdix does and just limited for market segment reasons. They could do a CCR and trimix one in days, it would require a build and some testing. AI would, I guess, require extra hardware. They might have an issue there with taking sales from their higher priced units, while those still sell well I would not expect AI at a much lower price point. Someone will be having a good play with a spreadsheet I think.
Right, but they already make a Peregrine... so are you saying that it would make sense for them to take the Perdix and convert it to sealed, internal battery? Software upgrades are cheap, hardware upgrades are not, and segmenting the market means that they would be competing against themselves. Unless you think that there are a lot of tech divers who have a big problem with the user replaceable battery?
